2013 Nissan Quest LE 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

We had Honda Odysseys for 12 years one if them a top of the line Touring. No real complaints but the Quest LE is better. The vehicle is luxurious. The ride is superb for a van. This van is overlooked by many buyers and as a result there are big discounts to be had on remaining 2013s. Every gadget you could imagine . Technically less cargo space than others but the seats fold flat to a Make cargo room rather than get removed. Leg room in the first row is wonderful. I am 6.4 used to feeling crowded in most vehicles not this one

After 19 months of owning the 2013 Quest, its time to write down my review. So far, my Quest drives pretty well. No mechanical problem whatsoever. No squeaks, clanks, or any unwanted under-chassis noise. Suspension is soft enough to silence Chicago potholes. Electronic and power features all working great. Everything in the cabin still tight and in their right places. Captain seats are comfy and fabric is easy to clean. Storage is plenty for a family of four. Overall, everything works accordingly, except for fuel economy. My Quest SV averages 12-13 MPG combined. It seems the CVT is not really helping the Quest achieve its MPG claims.

Just didn't want to but another Honda so we got a good deal with Nissan. Just don't like it. Just don't like the transmission. I need to jump in traffic frequently here in Miami and this hops off the line Indy jerky style but when you're moving it just doesn't kick in like a regular transmission does. And all this for better gas mileage? Not impressed. Averaging 15.9 according to the computer. Luckily this is a lease so I will return and go get an suv ***updated after returning lease*** Edmonds asked me to update so here it is. We returned this lease and bought a Honda Odyssey. My wife loved the automatic opening back doors so we stuck with the minivan idea. In doing research I found out that the 2013 Nissan Quest failed a new Chrash test miserably. The new front offset crash. The odyssey did not. We've had the Honda for 5-6 months now and have loved it and are really happy with it. It is a tremendous car. Especially for the family. The quest doesn't even compare with the odyssey.

The van is outstanding in the interior design, comfort, and features. LOVE the storage well in the rear floor of the van. I need an electric cart, which fits in the well perfectly. Great easy in getting in and out. Comfortable seats. Great vision with all the big windows all the way around the van. The only thing negative is the lower than expected gas mileage. At about 14,000 miles the tires were in need of replacement. The dealer paid for 2 tires and I paid for 2. There was a definite defect in the tires, as they wore down way too quickly. At 30,000 miles, I still love the van. Just disappointed that apparently Nissan has discontinued the Quest. Thus far, no problems with the van. All I have done is have the oil changed every 3,000 miles. At 36,000 miles, I still love the van, but it is begining to show some wear and tear, which I did not expect at such low milage, even though it is now approach being 5 years old. The rubber trim/seal around the name plate on the entry on the floor, is coming lose. There is now a small rip/tear on the arm rest in the center console area. Other than those couple of things, still very pleased with the van. IF Nissan had continued making the Quest, I would be trading this one in. However, I am just hanging on to this one, as there is nothing on the market today, that is affordable, that offers the same features, for the price. I looked at and seriously considered a Ford Explorer, and Ford Flex, as well as the Toyota van, but they are all too damn expensive. 7/31/2018, with just over 40,000 miles, I still love this van!! Not a serious problem with it now in 5 years of driving. Only thing I am disappointed in, other than the few minor interior issues I mentioned earlier, is the gas mileage. Wish I got closer to the estimated EPA mileage. Oh well, not too much to complain about. At the moment, the baby is in the body shop to repair a bit of side swipe damage to the passenger side rear panel. Some gentleman decided that merging on to the bridge really didn't mean "Yield" in spite of the signs. I managed to almost get by him........ Driving a loaner, a 2018 Chevy Equinox, which is a BIG let down. Too much road noise. To hard to get in and out of, have to go in head first and then drag my legs in. February 23, 2019 I am now approaching 42,000 miles on the van. Surprisingly, I am in need of tires again. The original tires were replaced at 14,000 miles, so after only 28,000 miles, I am down to 4/32 tread, which means it is time to think about new tires. I am not sure what the mileage rating was on the Firestone tires the dealer used to replace the original tires. August 27, 2019 I still love the van. I have been looking for something a bit newer, since this one is now 6 years old. Surprised and disappointed in the low value, despite the low mileage. I have been considering a Dodge Grand Caravan, but, so far have not found the one. Van is still running like new. No issues and no maintenance expense. Let's keep it that way.

Great if you aren't into cold air or reliability.

I purchased a Nissan Quest brand new. We really liked the vehicle until the AC compressor quit working at 70,000 miles. This is technically out of warranty, but far to early to be expecting an $1000 repair. I contacted Nissan One, and asked if they would be willing to stand behind their product due to the fact that it still had relatively low miles. They said they first needed to have a Nissan garage look at the problem before they could say. The local garage already had diagnosed the problem, but Nissan wanted to charge me $100 to do so. After spending a long morning waiting at the dealership, I sent Nissan the information, and they declined to help cover the $1000 bill for the repairs, offering no apparent reason. Perhaps it is unfair to fault them, it wasn't under warranty, but if I had it to do over again, I'd look for a company willing to stand behind their product a little better, and that won't cost you a bundle before you ever hit the 100,000 mark.
